ヌラーグスの湖・トップ5

In summer the lake is dry, but there is a good chance of seeing wild horses at the nearby springs.

Isili is a small town located at an altitude of 500 meters above sea level, in the heart of the Sarcidiano area. The Museum of Copper and Fabric Art is absolutely worth visiting to learn more about the ancient traditions of the area.

Here you can see wild horses and lots of insects. We saw the horses at the lake, it was really magical 🤩

Once built on a high limestone heel, today partially submerged by the artificial reservoir of Is Borroccus, the church, of uncertain dating, dates back to at least 1500. From the SP128 it can be seen from a rest area which allows an undisturbed view, accompanied by a tourist sign.

Sardinia's largest urban park lies on the border between the provinces of Oristano and Nuoro, a botanical paradise of rare plants and a wonderful destination for nature lovers. In the historic area of Sarcidano there is a place where you can take beautiful walks along nature trails surrounded by countless plant species and medieval ruins: the Ayermich Park, a 22-hectare oasis that until 1990 was the property of the margraves, the feudal ones owners of this oasis of land. The creator of this nature reserve was Don Ignazio Ayermich Ripoli, a botanist who brought back rare plants from his numerous trips abroad from the mid-19th century. It is an unusual excursion since it is located in the heart of the town of Laconi, about 60 km from Oristano and 90 km from Cagliari. The walk takes you through alleys decorated with a fresh and lively atmosphere. It begins in a forest of oaks, olive groves and black locust trees, dotted with natural ponds, streams, waterfalls and ponds. As you venture deeper into the park you will see a wide variety of orchids, including native ones such as Ophris laconensis and Sarcidanis. Among the tree avenues are unusual forms of vegetation such as Pyracantha coccinea and Collectia cruciata, whose leaves resemble military aircraft, as well as exotic plants such as the majestic Lebanon and Himalayan cedar, trees of exceptional size. Then there are plants from not far away but not common plants such as the Corsican pine, the Fagus sylvatica, the southern magnolia and the Taxus baccata, known as the “tree of death”. Water is a recurring theme and a source of life for the park. It flows in abundance all year round, forming rivers that then fall, such as the Cascata Maggiore or "great waterfalls", one of the park's many attractions.

Here is the Oromeu River. In the fall, everything is very dry. In the spring, however, the rivers are full of water. With luck, you might spot wild horses here.

It is the largest urban park in Sardinia, in which you can find countless exotic plants imported by Don Ignazio Aymerich Ripoll, curator of the nature reserve. There are waterfalls, lakes, natural paths and beautiful forests of holm oaks, downy oaks and many others. There are refreshment areas with benches and tables where you can eat. It cannot be visited by bike, but you can easily enter with it and leave it in the guardhouse area to visit the park on foot!

Very nicely landscaped park. Refreshing coolness when it's hot.
